Geocache Description:

At an elevation of 196M, this cache is a short walk along part of the Hamilton Rail Trail, and is a tribute to (as well as a name-play on) the Man in Black - Johnny Cash.

This cache replaces the one destroyed by vandals between Spet 29/03 and October 8/03 (so even if you've found it before, you can find it again).

I recommend starting out from the parking area just off of Mountain Brow Blvd (Hamilton) at N43 12.003 x W079 49.291. (There is another possible start point at N43 12.131 x W079 49.637, but that makes for a very short walk and limited enjoyment of the trail.) Enter the paved pathway just to the right of the posted map. It's a short and easy walk just under half a kilometer along the trail.

Our appologies to cache visitors previous to 9/14/03 for some poor co-ordinates - the new GPS was out of wack and it took about a week to realize it. Today we moved the cache to a better location (thanks to all for some good feedback) and the co-ordinates above reflect this new location. Cache is pretty well hidden now.

In addition to a Log Book, Pencils, and Pencil sharpener, this cache contained the following new items when placed:

1) Johnny Cash CD "At Folsom Prison"
2) Cork Screw
3) Adult Rain Coat
4) Hand Warmers
5) "Magnetic Module"
6) Mini Radio with Ear Phones
7) Laser Pen (neat!)
8) Laser Pointer
9) Magnetic Body Flaser (hmmmm!)
10) Some "Johnny" Pics (Please leave in cache)

The trail area seems to be pretty busy, so you may want to be cautious when you get close.
